Nancy Tingley’s History books are non-fiction works on Southeast Asian and Himalayan art. Tingley is an art historian and curator who also writes mystery fiction, and these scholarly works represent the academic side of her career.
The Doris Duke Southeast Asian Art Collection catalog (2003) covers one of the most significant private collections of its kind in the United States. Buddhas (2009) and Arts of Ancient Viet Nam (2009) examine Buddhist art and Vietnamese artistic traditions. Celestial Realms: The Art of Nepal from California Collections (2012) brings together Nepalese art from multiple institutions.
These books are aimed at readers with an interest in Asian art history, museum collections, and cultural heritage. They reflect Tingley’s expertise as both a scholar and a museum professional.
